Tuquito GNU/Linux is a full and LiveCD-capable distribution based on Debian. Amongst its characteristics, it features a novel hardware auto-detection system called Garfio - that is extremely valuable for targeting ad-hoc or heterogeneous deployment environments (like a decentralized educational system).

As other GNU/Linux distributions, the objective is to have a free and open-source operating system capable of being adapted to specific needs.
